Shizuka Hiratsuka doesn't understand love!

"It seems that you are not in a very good mood today. Are you really not used to being with strangers?"

"It's okay, it's okay as long as you ignore them." Shaking her head slightly, Yukino was still sorting her things, but there was a hint of disdain at the corner of her mouth.

"I just feel uncomfortable with the atmosphere where people pretend to be good friends even though there's a gap between them."

"Ah, are you talking about Ayako's friends?" Shizuka Hiratsuka blinked curiously. Because she didn't pay too much attention, she couldn't tell that there seemed to be any difference between them.

"How did you find out, Yukino?"

"Because I don't have many friends, but there are always people with ulterior motives around me, so I can tell." Yukino said softly with a slightly cold tone.

"Well, that was in the past. Now Yukino is very popular in Teitan High School. Sonoko told me about it." Looking at Yukino's nostalgic look, Hiratsuka Shizuka shook her head helplessly, sat up, and reached out to press her hand on Yukino's head.

"I know, I just feel a little emotional. People really do change, don't they?"

"Yes, and you have to work hard to change for the better, because there are many people around you who care about you."

"I know, Sister Jing."

After solving another small problem of being a problem student, Shizuka Hiratsuka and Yukino rested in the house for a while and decided to go downstairs together. After all, they were invited to play, and it would not be appropriate to stay in the room all the time.

"Where are Ayako, Sonoko, and Ran?" When Shizuka walked into the living room, she was surprised to find that everyone was gone.

"They seem to have gone out for a walk." Ayako said to Shizuka Hiratsuka, nodding her chin lightly.

"Let's take a walk. It's raining outside now."

"I don't know, maybe they enjoy this feeling~"

"You really dote on Sonoko, Ayako."

"Isn't it the same for Ms. Hiratsuka~"

Chapter 190 187 It's what you deserve, Shinichi

"Yukino, do you want to go for a walk?"

Looking at Yukino beside her, Shizuka Hiratsuka asked casually.

"Sister Jing, do you want to go?" Instead of refusing immediately, Yukino returned the question to Shizuka Hiratsuka and let her make the decision.

"I'm not in such a good mood." Shizuka Hiratsuka scratched her hair, looked at the drizzle outside the window, smiled and shook her head.

"If you don't want to go out, why not just rest in the villa." There was a faint smile on her face. Seeing that Shizuka Hiratsuka had no intention of going out, Ayako remembered what Sonoko had said to her about Shizuka Hiratsuka.

"Ah, please wait a moment." Ayako opened her narrowed eyes slightly, turned around quickly, opened the refrigerator, and took out the beer prepared by Sonoko.

"Miss Hiratsuka, would you like some beer?"

"Hey, do you want a beer now?" There was some interest in her eyes, but Shizuka Hiratsuka was still a little hesitant.

"We have snacks to go with the drinks, too." Ayako didn't stop there. After taking out the beer from the refrigerator, she bent down and took out several bags of squid and other snacks from the cabinet beside her.

"Then I won't be polite!" Shizuka Hiratsuka nodded with a smile and took these things directly from Ayako's hands.

Smiling, Ayako helped Shizuka Hiratsuka move the things to the coffee table in the living room. She did not leave immediately, but sat down with Shizuka Hiratsuka and started chatting with him while holding a can of beer.

"By the way, Ms. Hiratsuka, my parents asked me to send you their regards. After all, you have always been very caring towards our Sonoko. It's a pity that every time Sonoko invites you to visit our home, you have never accepted."

"Ah, it's not a big deal. I like that girl Sonoko quite a lot. She's carefree and doesn't have any bad intentions. It's okay to play with her all the time." He smiled and waved his hand. He didn't expect Ayako to thank him so formally. Hiratsuka Shizuka also quickly praised Sonoko.

"As for visiting your house, I'm still a little uncomfortable with that kind of big house. Compared to those serious occasions, I still prefer to eat at a small shop on the street, so I have never accepted the invitation."

"Besides, Sonoko and I have a good relationship, so there's no need for such a special gesture."

"Sonoko has really met a good teacher." He nodded with a smile. He had always heard about Hiratsuka Shizuka from Sonoko before, or he knew about this legendary woman from some information collected by his father.

After today's personal communication, Ayako's attitude towards Hiratsuka Shizuka became even better.

I have to say that Shizuka Hiratsuka gave me a very special feeling. Obviously many of her behaviors were different from the aristocratic education I received since childhood, but it was this carefree and unconcealed style that made Ayako feel particularly natural.

"When Ms. Hiratsuka and Ms. Yukinoshita didn't come down, I was worried they might be feeling unwell. Sonoko has been looking forward to today's gathering for a long time."

"It's okay, I was just a little tired when I went up the mountain before. I'll be fine after a rest." She smiled and found a reasonable excuse. Hiratsuka Shizuka couldn't say that it was because Yukino was too lazy to watch Ayako and her friends pretending there.

"We will be having dinner soon. I will introduce my classmates to Miss Hiratsuka then." Ayako said with a chuckle after glancing at the time on the wall of the living room.

"No problem. Sonoko has mentioned your cooking skills to me many times before. I'm looking forward to it today."

"It's not that great, I just like it and studied it a little bit."

"Bang!" The three women who were chatting subconsciously turned their eyes to Ota Katsu who pushed the door in. The other party's panting look made the women feel a little strange.

"What's wrong, Oota? Why are you in such a hurry to come back?" Ayako stood up and walked over, holding on to the sofa.

"Is Miss Mori back?" Oota Katsu asked, putting the umbrella in his hand next to the cabinet in the hallway.

"Ran? She hasn't come back yet. What's wrong?" After hearing Oota Masaru's words, not only Ayako, but also Hiratsuka Shizuka and Yukino's attention was drawn over.

"She separated from me. I couldn't find her in the forest and thought she came back first."

"Huh?" She blinked in surprise. After hearing what Ota Masaru said, Shizuka Hiratsuka looked at this good-looking man seriously for the first time.

"You mean, it was you who invited Xiaolan to go out for a walk?" Shizuka Hiratsuka, who had always thought that it was Xiaolan and Sonoko, and Conan who went out, felt a little subtle and a little funny.

She knew that Xiaolan was very beautiful, and her gentle and innocent temperament could touch a man's heart. However, with Shizuka Hiratsuka and Shinichi Kudo watching her, no one dared to confess to Xiaolan.

"See, Shinichi, you've been playing secrets and dragging your feet. You've only been away for a few days, and already someone's taken advantage of Xiaolan." It's hard to tell whether she's angry or amused, but Hiratsuka Shizuka doesn't seem to be feeling anxious.

After all, they have seen it all since she was a child. Although they have some complaints on behalf of Xiaolan, the elders like Shizuka Hiratsuka and Yukiko all know it.

The two children, Shinichi and Xiaolan, are basically a foregone conclusion.

Otherwise, he would be quite famous in Japan. There would not be any news about Kudo Shinichi, who is in his youth and has no relationship with others. Xiaolan is even more concerned about that bad boy Kudo Shinichi.

"But it's not impossible to scare that brat Shinichi and make him nervous about Xiaolan." Shizuka Hiratsuka's eyes flickered as she touched her chin.

"Sister Jing, should we go out and look for her? It's raining in the mountains and it's getting darker. It would be bad if Xiaolan encountered any danger." Sitting next to Shizuka Hiratsuka, Yukino was more concerned about Xiaolan's safety than the emotional relationship between Kudo Shinichi and Xiaolan.

"Don't worry too much about this, Yukino, you don't really think that Xiaolan went out with that man by herself, do you?" Shizuka Hiratsuka said confidently, smiling and waving her hand, having seen through everything.

"Trust me, Sonoko and Conan must be secretly following behind. If Xiaolan runs away from that man, they can come out and bring Xiaolan back. There will be no problem."

"Is that so?" She nodded in understanding. Hiratsuka Shizuka's statement was completely consistent with Sonoko's usual behavior pattern, and Yukino had no doubts.

However, when the guests in the villa came back one after another, Xiaolan and Sonoko arrived late.

And there was visible anxiety on his face.

Chapter 191 Isn’t it obvious at first glance?

"What did you say? Someone attacked Xiaolan in the forest?"

The beer in her hand was placed on the coffee table. Shizuka Hiratsuka, who couldn't sit still, suddenly stood up and walked to Xiaolan's side.

"How is it, Xiaolan, are you hurt?"

"No, Aunt Jing, that man didn't hit me." Xiaolan immediately replied, shaking her head slightly.

"Tell me in detail, what happened?" Shizuka Hiratsuka frowned. She didn't expect that she would encounter such a thing just during an outing.

"Who attacked you?"

"I don't know." Xiaolan said softly with a somewhat unhappy expression.

"do not know?"

"Aunt Shizuka, the man who attacked Xiaolan was wearing a very tight black cloak and a hat on his head. His face was tied up with white bandages, leaving only his eyes and mouth exposed." Seeing that Hiratsuka Shizuka was a little anxious, Conan, who was standing next to Xiaolan's legs, took the initiative to speak.

"Dressed like this?" Shizuka Hiratsuka blinked and suddenly felt that Conan's description was familiar.

"Sister Jing, this is the person we saw on the bridge when we came to the villa." Yukino, who came with Hiratsuka Shizuka to check on Xiaolan's condition, reacted immediately.

"Is that guy? Tsk." She made an unhappy sound. She had not taken that strange guy seriously at first, but Shizuka Hiratsuka did not expect that this guy would dare to attack Xiaolan in the forest.

"By the way, didn't you all see that strange man? I saw him running towards the villa at the last moment." Feeling equally shocked and angry, Yuanzi decisively shared all the information she could.

"I didn't. I was looking for Xiaolan in the forest. I couldn't find her, so I came back to check on her."

"We didn't see anyone either."

"What do you mean by we? I came back by myself, haha."

"I've been up there repairing the roof, and I haven't seen any strange people running out of the forest." The fat Takahashi Ryoichi touched his belly with a puzzled expression.

"But on the way to the villa, I saw a strange man on that bridge."

"I can't see his face clearly, but he's wearing a black cape and a hat, pretty much the same as what the little brother just described."

"I saw it too."

"Me too. At that time, I thought it was someone who lived nearby." After Takahashi Ryoichi finished speaking, Ota Masaru and Kakutani Hiroki also spoke up and said that they had also seen the strange person.

"It's impossible. Apart from two or three villas on the other side of the suspension bridge, there are no houses on this side of the valley until you cross the mountain." With a serious expression, Ayako quickly stated her judgment.

"Is there no one living here?" His expression became serious. According to Xiaolan and Conan, the other party had already used an axe to attack Xiaolan. This was no joke.

"Ayako, are you sure there are no other habitable houses around here?"

"I'm sure, Ms. Hiratsuka."

"Tsk." Her expression was a little unhappy. Originally, Shizuka Hiratsuka had planned to go around and look for him herself, and then have a personal and cordial conversation with that bastard.

"Sister Jing, there is something very strange. If it was a coincidence that we saw that strange man on the bridge, then why were these three gentlemen able to see that man in the same way?" Xueno, who had been listening to everyone's stories, spoke with a slight flicker in her eyes.

"If it wasn't a coincidence, why did that man keep crossing the suspension bridge, always heading towards this valley where there's no other residence besides Suzuki's villa?"

"Could he have let us see him on purpose?"

"That makes sense. One or two people can be explained clearly, but it's too coincidental that so many people saw it." Conan nodded in agreement. His tone was not as lively and cute as usual as he had entered the analysis stage.

"But why, why would he do this?"

"There are a lot of perverted people, especially guys like this who attack strange girls without saying a word." Shizuka Hiratsuka clenched her fists unhappily and looked at Xiaolan, who was still a little frightened, feeling both distressed and angry.

"Xiao Lan, I'm going to train you hard after we get back. That guy isn't a martial artist. Even if it was a sneak attack, you dodged it. With your skills, it wouldn't be a problem to defeat him directly. You're still too timid."

"Yes, Aunt Jing!" Looking at Hiratsuka Jing's serious eyes, Xiaolan subconsciously stood up straight.

Regardless of what Xiaolan was thinking at the time, even if she could use it, she was still a girl. Seeing such a terrible thing, she couldn't react in time to refute it, but Xiaolan didn't say anything.

Although Shizuka Hiratsuka is usually very kind to herself and Sonoko, and seems to have no temper, Shizuka Hiratsuka's majesty has long penetrated into the hearts of each of them.

When Shizuka Hiratsuka's face was really stern and her eyes were serious, they and Kudo Shinichi would listen to her lecture obediently.

Not to mention them, even Kogoro Mori and Yukiko didn't dare to say anything loudly.

"Aunt Jing, how do you know that guy is not a martial artist?" Conan asked curiously, suddenly raising his head.

"Isn't this something you can tell at a glance?" Shizuka Hiratsuka lowered her head in surprise, her mind focused on how to find that perverted cloaked man and teach him a lesson, and didn't care about Conan's difference.

"Looking at his running knowledge, I can tell pretty much what he's doing. It's possible that he's practiced running and is pretending to be clueless. But if he can get past me, then, to put it bluntly, Xiaolan won't be able to dodge the sneak attack just now."

"Is that so?" He nodded gently. Conan still trusted Hiratsuka Shizuka's words very much.

Kudo Shinichi dares to express one or two different opinions on some issues in daily life, but when it comes to martial arts.

Kudo Shinichi said he is just a younger brother!

Aunt Jing is mighty and the best in the world!

"Anyway, let's call the police first. The other party has already used an axe. This is not a joke." Hiroki Kakutani, who also came back from the forest, pursed his lips and was a little nervous.

It's not a very pleasant feeling to meet someone with bandages in such a secluded valley.

"Okay, I'll call right away." Without any other thoughts, Ayako quickly walked to the villa's landline phone and picked up the receiver.

"Eh?" After calling the police, Ayako held the receiver and listened for a while, but her expression gradually became stiff.

"What's wrong, sister?" Seeing that something was wrong with Ayako, Sonoko came over with some concern.

"The phone can't be dialed out."

"what!"
